Caribbean Stewed Goat Meat (Pressure Cooker Method)
Ingredients
For the seasoning
- 4-5 lb Goat meat cleaned
- 4 tsp Paprika
- 2 tsp Salt
- 4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 tsp Onion powder
- 4 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Black pepper
For the sauce:
- 3-4 cups Water enough to cover the meat
- 3-4 medium Garlic cloves minced
- 1 medium Onion sliced
- 4-6 sprigs Fresh parsley
- 4-6 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs Scallions diced
- 4 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 4 tbsp Tomato paste
- 3 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Add the meat to a large bowl, season with the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and Worcestershire sauce.
- Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. Overnight is ideal.
- Place the pressure cooker on a medium-high heat. Once it is warm, add the oil then add the goat meat. Cook the goat on each side for 3-5 minutes then remove it.
- Add the onion, garlic and scallions. Let that cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Spread the brown sugar evenly into the oil and let it caramelize for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the goat meat and cover it with the browning.
- Add the water, tomato paste, thyme, parsley and salt.
- Cover the pressure cooker with the lid.
- When the whistle starts to blow, lower the heat and let it cook for 30-40 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat after the 30-40 minutes, and let it cool completely before remove the cover. Skipping this step is dangerous.
- If you want a thicker sauce, place the pressure cooker(without the cover) back on the heat and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes or until the sauce is thick enough for you.
